the book that saved my husband

what would you do if you couldn't think

no really

you couldn't think critically

ok so i hear some of you sleepless moms of littles saying, that's me everyday

trust me, i get it

but what if you had had a photographic memory, could recite passages of scripture and literature poetically, were fluent in cantonese, and knew every line in every single Seinfeld episode and 80s movie

and now could not force your mind to complete simple tasks, remember what you did this morning, remember who you spoke with about what, or form words properly when you spoke

to have a ghost of a memory that you once knew so many beautifully rich things

this is just a mild taste of what my brilliant husband deals with on a daily basis

so when i tell you that Mike just finished a novel

it is with absolute elation that i tell you that my husband just completed his first novel
